Seemingly Cruel, but Kind.

Newspaper men often seem cruel
when they are most kind. The fact
isn't always recognized, but an
agreeable exception is noted by the
Binghamton Republican:
Caller lin newspaper Office -'Twen.
ty years ago I wrote poem"
Editor-"Yes?"
~ brought it to this Office, and you
refused to publ h it,"
Every likely"
al remember that l mentally put
you down then as O confounded idiot,

Naturally"
81 looked that poem over again the
other day, and have come to see you
about it."
"Aha"
81 have come to say that il looked
as green twenty years ago as that
poem proves me to have been, want
to thank you because you didn't cut
me up and feed me to the cows.
Good day"
The editor drew long chalk mark
under the table. 1t was the first case
in all his experience in which twenty
years had begotten sense enough to I'M
derstand that it is sometimes neces.
sary to be cruel to be kind.

The Eclipse in Russia.

From an Exchange.
When Professor Mendelaieff was de-
scending in his military balloon near
Moscow, after observing the recent
eclipse, several peasants ran out of
the village OF Oderkoff with guns to
shoot 1.-The evil beast that had dark
ened the face OF the sum-" There was
a general fear among the Russian
peasantry that the world was coming
10 an end. This idea was strengthen
ed by the curious coincidence that on
Sunday preceding the eclipse the gos-
pei appointed to be read in the
churches happened to be the oath
chapter OF Matthew, in which occurred
the prediction that the sun shall be
darkened and the stars shall fall from
the heavens. Ten days after the
eclipses in the provin;e OF Perm there
was remarkable fall of aerolites.
One pice OF the metoric stone weighed
about a quarter OF a ton, and caused
an earth shock in its fall like an earth
quake.

Irom American Art Illustrnted.

From American Art Illustrated.
Old-fashioned living rooms had one
advantage over tho rooms OF the
present day, for this room OF the
house was the home room, where all
interests conferred, all pleasant asso-
Citations crowded. and when shadows
came they only deepened the tone OF
the room, for they could not blot out
the beauty which had gathered through
the days and years. To-day we have
nothing which approaches the COM
fort Of the old time room, unless it be
the cottage dining-room, which is also
Sit ting-room, q place where people
live and from which closet opens to
receive the children's toys, when play
is over, and into which the dainty
lunches and bountiful dinners come,
without inconvenience to any one.
A pretty cottage on the hillside has
two small rooms in front, and run
ming back some twenty feet is q long
room, originally intended for wood
shed and summer kitchen; the charm
ing genius OF the housekeeper rescued
this apartment, determined to have
q room which wonld serve for many
purposes, and the result was a very
picturesque, practical interior. The
walls were covered with bark, taken
from the trunks OF living trees, large
pieces were nailed upon the inner
walls, which were merely rough board.
ed inside, but surface very we'll
adapted to the rough covering.
Around the base OF the room, twelve
inches from the wall, was placed %
board twelve inches high; the space
between this and the wall was filled
in with earth, vines and plants were
set out, the vines trained upon the
wall, confined by tiny strips OF leath-
err. Brackets were made OF plain form
and covered with bark, while the
flower pots to stand upon them were
made attractive by cover OF gray
and green moss. The windows OF the
room were large, and during the win
ter sunshine entered without any OBJ
struction to break its RAYS. 1t was o
merry, sunny room, never, OF course,
in perfect order, but clean and bright
with O. sense of comfort and pleasant
home life, delightful to all who entered.

Expensive Collars For Dogs.
From the New York Sun.

From the New YORK sun.
"The most costly collar ever sup
piled for a dog" said leading manu-
facturer in that line, event to Phila-
delphia. 1t was chain collar, OF
gold and silver, and worth 5000. No,
Geoege w. Childs, A. NJ, was not the
purchaser, and must decline to tell
you the purchasers name. The ami
NAL which wears the 5000 collar is a
greyhound, and a beauty.
"Quite number OF New York dogs
have collars worth $1OO or therea-
bouts. OF course, they belong to
wealthy people, and pretty lively
eye is kept on the collars when the
dog.catchers are about. The hand
soonest collar know of in New York
is worn by q mastiff somewhere about
Thirty-fourth street. The chain collar
is the favorite with buyers, and the
average demand is for collars costing
about So, but they range in price
down to Is cents.
"Women are in the large majority
among purchasers, and most OF them
are married women, the chestnut
about maiden ladies and their pecul-
lar devotion to poodles having very
little foundation at least in New York.
The pug seems to be the favorite an
imal with the fair sex, but ! notice
that many good women of good taste
prefer setter. Nearly all the rich
women OF New York own o dog OF
some kind or another and take good
care OF it, too. However, men also
sometimes show quite as deep an at
tachment to their four-footed friends
as women, and / have witnessed re-
markable instances OF grief for the
loss OF q dog-some instances that
would astonish the public.
"Women are getting more into the
habit OF blanketing their dogs in cold
weather; but the great majority OF
dogs have still to trust to their nat
ural covering for protection from
the cold. However, very large num-
Der of dogs in New York, between col
lars and blankets, carry more value
around with them than the average
citizen.
another thing worth mentioning
is that, to the best ofmy observation,
the best dogs are not seen at the dog
shows. Many OF the finest dogs in the
city are not allowed near dog show.
Their owners would not permit their
pets to be put on exhibition"

And so they envy the man who be-
longs to the band, and sometimes q

may be depth Of woe in the appar-

There must be occasions when the
man who belongs to the band would
prefer to stay at home rather than to

when, strongly partisan in his feelings,
he is required to serenade q man OF

"Hail to the Chief" it would afford
him the liveliest satisfaction to assist
in the "Rogue's March,"

him on commencement day, forced to
listen for hours in a hot, crowded
room to the windy efforts OF the future
orators OF America. Wehave thought
OF his weary marches in political pro.
cessions, Masonic funerals and other
occasions more or less cheerful to
everybody except the man who be-
longs to the band, and our heart has
bled for him. But having joined the
band. he must hold himself ready to
go where duty and the leader call.

FROM DULUTHTO LIVERPOOL.

FROM DULUTH TO LIVERPOOL.
The northwestern grain growers and
shipper believing that their cOnsgn-
ments OF wheat to Liverpool and other
European markets are not shipped
straight, but are mixed with inferior
qualities Of grain by eastern elevator
men and shippers. have sent direct to
Liverpool and Glasgow from the Min
nesota and Dakota farms. This move
ment is but the beginning OF "a gigantic
scheme for a line Of wheat steamers be-
tween Duluth on this side the great
lakes and Liverpool and Glasgow on the
other side of the big herring pond. In
connection with this project the idea Of
breaking up the rapids above Montreal
Is moOted, thus removing the only serl-
Gus obstruction to navigation H. the st
Lawrence river. A little work would
clear the obstruction at the outlet Of
Lake Ontario, some minor improvements
would be necessary In the St Claire
river, the Sault st. Mary II al
ready under process of i'm
provement and, these changes
made, there would be no obstruction to
the passage of ocean vessels from Du.
luth to the ports OF the Old Word.
There is big money behind this scheme.
1t would make Duluth the Liverpool Of
America and break up the prospect Of
India undertaking America in the grain
markets of Europe for some years TO
come. All the northwest is interested
In this scheme. The grain fields OF Da-
kota and Minnesota are the dependence
OF st. Paul and Minneapolis for their
continued growth, and they will not al
low this project to slumber on their
hands. The one drawback to its COM
plete success is the long winter which
will close this projected waterway during
nearly six months of the year.
